Two New Biphenylpropanoids from the Rhizomes of Acorus tatarinowii

Two new biphenylpropanoids (1 and2) were isolated from the rhizomes ofAcorus tatarinowii Schott. The structures of compounds1 and2 were determined by means of extensive spectroscopic methods. Their structures were identified as (R)-3-[1-hydroxy-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]-4,5-dimethoxy methyl benzoate (1) and (R)-3-[1-hydroxy-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]-4,5-dimethoxy ethyl benzoate (2). In addition, the xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity of the isolated compounds was reported. Compounds1 and2 exhibited weak XOD inhibitory activity in the test.
